Notes
These coconut date balls can be stored for up to 3 months or frozen for snacking later.
The dates provide natural sweetness, but their texture is paramount. If your mix feels a bit dry, add a splash of coconut oil. Want to experiment with more recipes? Dive into my 'Tropical Dessert Collection' for more!
